Re: Fougere Royale? What the Hell....

I was considering purchasing this, but bought a small decant instead. The re-launch FR is certainly composed of high quality ingredients, but it is in the vein of woody aromatics like Safari and Trafalar rather than the true spirit of FR. The original EdC is much different.

I have never smelled the original, but I just want to cite Tania Sanchez who said that the reissue was a practical joke. Perhaps inevitably, as mr reasonable was saying, since two of the three main ingredients, coumarin and oakmoss, are now basically forbidden.

This. I have a review of the vintage on the review page here which compares the two and they really are completely different scents.
